直線上に配置

Canadian space Agency(CSA) leads Canadian space activities. Including private sector, Canada has launched 103 satellites till 2023. (See Table)

1. Utilization of Space Environment
Space Activities of Canada

Canada contributes to International Space Station(ISS) by Manipulating robots.

(Canada, 1985, SC#1046)
Canadian astronaut 1

Marc Garnau
has a doctorate in electrical engineering. He became the first Canadian astronaut to fly in space on Shuttle Mission STS-41G in 1984. He flew additional mission in space in 1996 and 2000, and was then President of the Canadian Space Agency.
(Canada, 2003?)

Canadian astronaut 2

Roberta Bondar
, a medical doctor and Ph.D. in neurobiology, became the first Canadian woman astronaut and the world's first neurologist in space in 1992 on the International Microgravity Laboratoty. She was elected to the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame for the pioneering space medicine research.
(Canada, 2003?)

Canadian astronaut 3

Steve MacLean
, with a Ph.D. in physics, conducted several experiments during his 1992 mission, including tests on the Canadian Advanced Space Vision System. a technology that he helped develop to assist in the operation of Canadarm and Canadarm2. He is currently President of the Canadian Space Agency.
(Canada, 2003?)

Canadian astronaut 4

Chris Hadfield
, an engineer and a test pilot, is the only Canadian to have visited the Russian space station Mir in 1995. He became the first Canadian to perform a spacewalk in 2001 during the installation of Canadarm2 on the Intenational Space Station.
(Canada, 2003?)

Canadian astronaut 5

Robert Thirsk
is an engineer and a doctor of medicine. He and his crewmates performed experiments devoted to the study of microgravity and life sciences in the shuttle's Spacelab module. His 1996 mision lasted 17 days, the longest for a Canadian astronaut.
(Canada, 2003?)

Canadian astronaut 6

Bjarni Tryggvason
has a degree in engineering physics with a specialization in applied mathematics. In 1997 he conducted a series of tests in space on the Canadian Microgravity Vibration Mount, an instrument which he designed to counter the effects of spacecraft vibrations on fluid science experiments.
(Canada, 2003?)

Canadian astronaut 7

Dave Williams
has done researce in neurophysiology and is an emergency physician. In 1998 he participated in Neurolab, a complex life science mission to study the effects of microgravity on the nervous system. He is the first Canadian to have lived and worked in both orbiting and undersea laboratoties.
(Canada, 2003?)

Canadian astronaut 8

Julie Payette
is an electrical enginer with a master's degree in computer engineering. During a ten-day mission in 1999, she operated the Canadarm while in orbit and became the first Canadian to board the International Space Station. She became Chief Astronaut for the Canadian Space Agency.
(Canada, 2003?)

2. Domestic Telecommunications satellites
Mobile Telecommunications satellite "M-SAT"
(1996-022A)

Inspite of M-SAT failed to be a perfrct geostationary satellite, but it contributed to promote Canadian Mobile Telecommunication technology.
(Canada, 1986, SC#1079)

Telecommunications satellite "Anik" (1991-067A)

Anik is a series of Telecommunications satellites operated by Telesat.

(Canada, 1992, SC#1441)
3. Space Science
Canadian second satellite "Alouette 2" (1965-098A)

It was launched 29 Nov. 1965.

(Canada, 1966, #445)

4. Engineering Test satellite

University of Tront Technology launched 2 nanosat in April 2008.
